CCAMP Working Group This document provides a mechanism to request path computation in Optical Networks (WSON and Flexi-grid) by augmenting the Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) defined in RFC YYYY. [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFC YYYY with the RFC number of draft-ietf-teas-yang-path-computation once it has been published.
Introduction describes key use cases, where a client needs to request underlying SDN controllers for path computation. In some of these use cases, the underlying SDN controller can control a single-layer optical technologies, including Optical Transport Network (OTN), Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON), Flexi-grid, and multi-layer Optical network. This document defines YANG data models, which augment the generic Path Computation RPC defined in , with technology-specific augmentations required to request path computation to an underlying Optical SDN controller. These models allow a client to delegate path computation tasks to the underlying Optical SDN controller without having to obtain optical-layer information from the controller and performing feasible path computation itself. This is especially helpful in cases where computing optically-feasible paths require knowledge of physical-layer states, such as optical impairments, which are visible only to the Optical controller.

YANG Data Models for Optical Path Computation
YANG Models Overview The YANG data models for requesting WSON and Flexi-grid path computation are defined as augmentations of the generic Path Computation RPC defined in , as shown in .
The entities and Traffic Engineering (TE) attributes, such as requested path and tunnel attributes, defined in , are still applicable when requesting WSON and Flexi-grid path computation and the models defined in this document only specifies the additional technology-specific attributes/information, using the attributes defined in .
Attributes Augmentation The common characteristics for layer 0 (WSON and Flexi-grid) tunnels are under definition in and re-used in the ietf-wson-path-computation and ietf-flexi-grid-path-computation YANG models
Bandwidth Augmentation As described in Section 4.2 of , there is some overlap between bandwidth and label in layer0. The WSON and flexi-grid label resource information described in , is sufficient to describe also the spectrum resources within WSON and flexi-grid networks. Therefore, the model does not define any augmentation for the te-bandwidth containers defined in .
Label Augmentations The models augment all the occurrences of the label-restriction list with WSON and Flexi-grid technology-specific attributes using the l0-label-range-info and flexi-grid-label-range-info groupings defined in . Moreover, the models augment all the occurrences of the te-label container with the WSON, Flexi-grid and OTN technology-specific attributes using the wson-label-start-end, wson-label-hop, wson-label-step, flexi-grid-label-start-end, flexi-grid-label-hop and flexi-grid-label-step defined in .

Manageability Considerations This document provides a method for requesting path computations for WSON and Flexi-Grid tunnels. Consideration of mechanisms to gather and collate information required for the path computations will be necessary. Furthermore, storing path computation requests and responses and triggering actions will also need to be carefully managed and secured. Future versions of this document will contain additional information.
Security Considerations The YANG module defined in this document will be accessed via the NETCONF protocol or RESTCONF protocol . The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) . The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS . The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) provides the means to restrict access to particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. Some of the RPC operations defined in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus essential to control access to these operations. Operations defined in this document, and their sensitivities and possible vulnerabilities, will be discussed further in future versions of this document.
IANA Considerations This document registers the following URIs in the "ns" subregistry within the "IETF XML registry" .
This document registers the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry .
A YANG Data Model for requesting path computation Huawei Technologies Nokia Telefonica Google Ericsson There are scenarios, typically in a hierarchical Software-Defined Networking (SDN) context, where the topology information provided by a Traffic Engineering (TE) network provider may be insufficient for its client to perform multi-domain path computation. In these cases the client would need to request the TE network provider to compute some intra-domain paths. This document defines a YANG data model which contains Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to request path computation. This model complements the solution, defined in RFC YYYY, to configure a TE tunnel path in "compute-only" mode. [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFC YYYY with the RFC number of draft-ietf-teas-yang-te once it has been published. Moreover, this document describes some use cases where the path computation request, via YANG-based protocols (e.g., NETCONF or RESTCONF), can be needed. The YANG 1.1 Data Modeling Language YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for network management protocols. This document describes the syntax and semantics of version 1.1 of the YANG language. YANG version 1.1 is a maintenance release of the YANG language, addressing ambiguities and defects in the original specification. There are a small number of backward incompatibilities from YANG version 1. This document also specifies the YANG mappings to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized as remote procedure calls (RPCs). This document obsoletes RFC 4741. [STANDARDS-TRACK] YANG Tree Diagrams This document captures the current syntax used in YANG module tree diagrams. The purpose of this document is to provide a single location for this definition. This syntax may be updated from time to time based on the evolution of the YANG language. A YANG Data Model for Layer 0 Types Huawei Samsung Futurewei Technologies Nokia University of Lancaster Nokia Nokia Huawei Orange This document defines a collection of common data types and groupings in the YANG data modeling language. These derived common types and groupings are intended to be imported by modules that model Layer 0 optical Traffic Engineering (TE) configuration and state capabilities such as Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs) and flexi-grid Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) networks. This document obsoletes RFC 9093. A YANG Data Model for Traffic Engineering Tunnels, Label Switched Paths and Interfaces Juniper Networks Cisco Systems Inc IBM Corporation Juniper Networks Individual Telefonica This document defines a YANG data model for the provisioning and management of Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels, Label Switched Paths (LSPs), and interfaces. The model covers data that is independent of any technology or dataplane encapsulation and is divided into two YANG modules that cover device-specific, and device independent data. This model covers data for configuration, operational state, remote procedural calls, and event notifications. Generalized Labels for the Flexi-Grid in Lambda Switch Capable (LSC) Label Switching Routers GMPLS supports the description of optical switching by identifying entries in fixed lists of switchable wavelengths (called grids) through the encoding of lambda labels. Work within the ITU-T Study Group 15 has defined a finer-granularity grid, and the facility to flexibly select different widths of spectrum from the grid. This document defines a new GMPLS lambda label format to support this flexi-grid.This document updates RFCs 3471 and 6205 by introducing a new label format. RESTCONF Protocol This document describes an HTTP-based protocol that provides a programmatic interface for accessing data defined in YANG, using the datastore concepts defined in the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). Using the NETCONF Protocol over Secure Shell (SSH) This document describes a method for invoking and running the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) within a Secure Shell (SSH) session as an SSH subsystem. This document obsoletes RFC 4742. [STANDARDS-TRACK] The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.3 This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS allows client/server applications to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.This document updates RFCs 5705 and 6066, and obsoletes RFCs 5077, 5246, and 6961. This document also specifies new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations. Network Configuration Access Control Model The standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) or the RESTCONF protocol requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. This document defines such an access control model.This document obsoletes RFC 6536. The IETF XML Registry This document describes an IANA maintained registry for IETF standards which use Extensible Markup Language (XML) related items such as Namespaces, Document Type Declarations (DTDs), Schemas, and Resource Description Framework (RDF) Schemas. Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information Model for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks This document provides a model of information needed by the Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) process in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs). The purpose of the information described in this model is to facilitate constrained optical path computation in WSONs. This model takes into account compatibility constraints between WSON signal attributes and network elements but does not include constraints due to optical impairments. Aspects of this information that may be of use to other technologies utilizing a GMPLS control plane are discussed. Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information Encoding for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks A Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) requires certain key information fields be made available to facilitate path computation and the establishment of Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The information model described in "Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information Model for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks" (RFC 7446) shows what information is required at specific points in the WSON. Part of the WSON information model contains aspects that may be of general applicability to other technologies, while other parts are specific to WSONs.This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for the WSON-specific information fields. It is intended that protocol- specific documents will reference this memo to describe how information is carried for specific uses. Such encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition, these encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same information to a Path Computation Element (PCE). A YANG Data Model for requesting Path Computation in an Optical Transport Network (OTN) Huawei Technologies Futurewei Technologies Nokia This document provides a mechanism to request path computation in an Optical Transport Network (OTN) by augmenting the Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) defined in RFC YYYY. [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFC YYYY with the RFC number of draft-ietf-teas-yang-path-computation once it has been published. Applicability of Abstraction and Control of Traffic Engineered Networks (ACTN) to Packet Optical Integration (POI) TIM Vodafone Huawei Old Dog Consulting Ericsson This document considers the applicability of Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) architecture to Packet Optical Integration (POI)in the context of IP/MPLS and optical internetworking. It identifies the YANG data models being defined by the IETF to support this deployment architecture and specific scenarios relevant for Service Providers. Existing IETF protocols and data models are identified for each multi-layer (packet over optical) scenario with a specific focus on the MPI (Multi-Domain Service Coordinator to Provisioning Network Controllers Interface)in the ACTN architecture. A Yang Data Model for WSON Tunnel Samsung Huawei Technologies Futurewei Nokia University of Lancaster ETRI CTTC This document provides a YANG data model for WSON TE tunnel. A YANG Data Model for Flexi-Grid Tunnels Naudit HPCN Universidad Autonoma de Madrid Old Dog Consulting Nokia Huawei Technologies Nokia Cisco This document defines a YANG model for managing flexi-grid optical tunnels (media-channels), complementing the information provided by the flexi-grid topology model. The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).
Change Log The initial YANG data model requesting path computation in optical networks was draft-gbb-ccamp-optical-path-computation-yang-00. This document included path computation request capabilities for WSON, Flexi-Grid and OTN technologies. However, it was proposed at IETF 113 (March 25, 2022) to split the initial document into separate documents for WDM (WSON and Flexi-Grid) and OTN technologies, as each technology may be developed and implemented separately. The WDM technology capabilities were kept in this document, and the OTN capabilities were moved into . Editors note, please remove this appendix before publication.
